Situated in the financial district of Atasehir, on the Asian side of Istanbul, this commercial complex is being constructed on a 93,788 sq. metre area. Architects Saraiva+Associados were given the challenge to create a cost effective solution to the ever changing needs of office spaces, while creating a landmark in the centre of Atasehir. The present proposal consists of two identically designed towers standing almost perpendicular to each other. Tower A stands 109.05 meters tall, while the Tower B measuers 82.60 meters in height.\u00a0 ‘Towering above the city, these two periscope-shaped bodies stand side by side wrapped in a delicate zigzag fa\u00e7ade. This innovative approach presents a screen fa\u00e7ade that acts like a solar thermo-skin protection, which in the end materializes the volumetric appearance of the complex.’<\/em><\/p>\n

The fa\u00e7ade consists of alternate squares of silver cladding and\u00a0 brown tinted glass creating the interesting feel of a pixelated image. Between the two towers lies a body of water, with a larger than life human face sculpture emerging from the water. The capsule elevators provide means of transporting visitors to the highest level, that is, the sky lobby. The rooftop of the podium is designed as a central meeting point and is accessible to the public. Besides serving as a meeting point, it also forms the main entrance. The building is designed to give the users an unique futuristic experience.<\/p>\n
